If this was December 6th, this would be an excitement for all — children and adults….. Maybe more for the kids, as the adults know they have a limited time to prepare for the Day. All would be rushing about gathering gifts for their loved ones and friends. If company was planning to visit it would be time to get some cleaning accomplished to make room. Houses and churches are filled to their capacity for the celebration of Christ with us…….
When we have to fill our gas tank with fuel at the pump, we can choose to fill it 1/4 tank or 1/2 tank or 3/4 tank or take the gas chamber to the maximum that it will hold….. It all depends on the cost we want to spend at the pump.
There is a cost to preparing for the blessing of Christ with us and in us. The Holy Spirit always tells us the cost of the Lord’s presence within….. The Lord already knew the cost to be His Son on this earth….. Paul was told and it is written that Peter was also told the cost. Mary also knew the cost before the Messiah came……..He tells us things to come as written and reveals the estimate of cost to follow the King of all. We can either pick up our cross and follow the Lord or stand at the bleachers and watch others go for the whole counsel of God……….. We choose – yes or hmmmm……. This can’t be the Lord, I think I will wait and see……Then we hesitate and look back…… and then we stop. But the Spirit is moving on with the purpose of God. He is never ending as is His love….. His love is ever bounding over and towards us but the increase of Him by our lack of courage and trust in Him allows Him only to fill us 1/4 tank….He is so wise, He has already planned for the day we realize we will run out of fuel because we did not follow His steps. He has got us covered —– there will be infueling at His station -strategically placed where we run out…… Do not be concerned, He has always got our back, even when we think we do not want to go on because we are protecting our hide…….
If we keep holding on to what we cannot have, we never acquire what is for us to keep. What we think we need is what we see……but what we do not see but know becomes our need fulfilled.
The number nineteen is symbolized as complete fullness of the Spirit of God, complete fruitfulness or complete judgment……. Let’s see, what mountain do we want to be found in? Of course, Mount Zion……. In the Lord’s army, bride, body………This is our call and place in our God…..Today, the Spirit is speaking, have ears to hear!
We cannot get a new car into our garage if it is already filled with stuff. We have to let go of old stuff and we must make room for the new vehicle . Spiritually, we also have to look into our “garage” and do some cleaning even destroying the old with the presence of the Holy Spirit……. As written in Psalm 119:32, I run the course of Your commandments, for you shall enlarge my heart.
Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord with a pure heart, ( 2 Timothy 2:19-22).
Every stronghold that is holding us back in unbelief and religious tradition will hinder the capacity of the Holy Spirit with in us and through us. It is written in 1 Corinthians 2:16, For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ…….. We allow the old mindsets against the Lord to be demolished and turn to embrace Him and His doings as the heart of a child who embraces all of life with enthusiasm and excitement. We allow the our hearts to be washed with the Word, the Word of God , the blood of the Lamb of God. We then become all believing and pure…… We have eyes on our King .
Before Elijah came on the scene there was a man named Enoch, and he walked with God for 365 years of his life and then was not as written in Genesis and confirmed in Hebrews. Then Enoch testifies of the coming Day of the Lord written in Jude. Elijah was needed when the people of God were walking in ways of the world and their hearts were turned to unbelief. Walking with the Spirit of God is costly and very worth the blessing of His presence. We must make room for His increase as we move out some old doctrines of men and unbelief that prohibits His growth in us. Of course, any idols that do not give the Lord preeminence is destroyed by us…He just does not dwell with us when we want to give Him His due….. He is with us 24/7. So all rooms in our heart so to speak must reflect a worshiping heart towards Him which allows Him to fill us to capacity….. A full house or temple of the Lord….. Then as we gather, what a wonder of a great spiritual house or temple made not by human hands but God Himself…… I am so anxious to see the Day that all will be revealed……. and the Mountain and City of God of whom we are……
It is the countdown of days of our time to learn to hear the voice of God and obey His still small voice…….. We must turn our eyes away from all idols and timewasters and turn our ears to hear and then walk by the faith. This is the way of enlarging our heart for endurance of the race set before us. He speaks to us and we acknowledge Him by our response in faith to Him….. He is ever so pleased by our faith……. Let us pray for the audacious faith of a child….. Believes all and trusts in all ways to God.
The Holy Spirit has been given abroad to us abundantly to instruct us in the Words of Christ Jesus. He empowers us to hear and learn to understand the ways of God and His kingdom. He illuminates us according to our pressing in. The illuminations is shown us and then we experience His teaching so Christ with in grows in abundance….
Hey, we are living a life where it is all of Christ and none of me, is that not the way He said it should be? So let us throw those old clothes in the fire of the love of our King…. He has fitted us with costly garments of His seal and ownership of our lives, His Spirit. O child of God, He desires greatly our love and has laid down all to get our hearts……… They are His domain….. Let us allow Him to walk freely in His palace or temple of our souls!
Pentecost has come and the Feast of Tabernacles is at hand where the Lord is desiring to fill His spiritual temple to beyond capacity- with all that is everlasting- HIMSELF! This is individually and inclusive to all believers….. What a day we are granted to live in……
Our Heavenly Father was quite clear in His instructions in Matthew 17:1-5, Now after six days, Jesus took Peter, James and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Then Peter answered and said, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Beloved Son, in whom I Am well pleased. Hear Him!
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said, I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters says the Lord Almighty, (2 Corinthians 6:16-18).
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God, ( 2 Corinthians 7:1).
The Holy Spirit is making us aware today of Whose house we belong to and whose house we are in: Him and Him in us. The day of Enoch has to be before the days of Elijah……. Let us learn the way of the Lord so we may prepare His way for others. Prophets always make way for the Lord….. Why ? Prophets are representing the mouth of God- their ears have been cut to hear the Almighty God…… When people are not hearing because they are not obeying…. Sometimes we are stuck in our day to day. The disobedience brings a famine in the land from hearing the Lord….Remember the promise of Jesus in John 10, all My sheep hear My voice- So we must obey His instructions to us and lean into Him for our strength and courage. Remember today we are all priests and kings unto our God……. We need to discern His still small voice amongst the loud clamor of the world……. Let us learn to put a deaf ear to the world and an open ear to Him who has loved us with an everlasting love. For in His Words are our Rock and Refuge and Salvation from where we step into glory to glory.
On His Day, may we all be gathered untoHim for He knows His home…… We will not hear on His Day, I do not know from what house you are from……..
We come humbly before You Heavenly Father, and ask we have our heart become flesh to seek You and to hear Your Words to us. Open our eyes to allow the fire of Your Word penetrate and so You are home with in us….. We bow before the King of all kings who desires to live and take His rightful place within us, this temple You created by Your sacrifice and blood and power of Your Spirit…….Father, we submit that Christ in us is our only hope of glory….. Let it be according to Your Word, My Lord.
The fire of the Lord is as a furnace within us……so what is unseen and forever will be, as written even in us! For we walked with God and was not, but He is and will be forever…..All things for Christ and in Christ and by Christ….. for He is worthy.
Therefore He says, When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. ( Now this, He ascended- what does this mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things,) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, Christ- from whom the whole body, joined and knitted together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love, ( Ephesians 4:8-16).
But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness, ( Ephesians 4:20-24).
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption, ( Ephesians 4:30)
Hey, it is nineteen days before Christmas……. The countdown has begun….. All the stores are set for the time and season. Beloved, as His children, let us know and be prepared with the full capacity of oil in our lamps for the His Day of celebration approaches. Let us be found set for His season clothed and filled with the abundance of His Spirit……Allow His Spirit to make a house fit rightly for the King of kings and Lord of all lords. Amen and amen!
Selah!
Children,
You please I AM as you gather around My throne….. Your faces shine bright with the knowledge of My Holy One. Do you know how precious every one of you are to I AM?
All Wisdom of heaven has been made unto you through My Holy One….. All Wisdom and understanding and faith sight is yours. The Father and the Son and the Spirit are one with My children. Do you not see the beauty of the temple that I AM has chosen to dwell……. The mount that is formed by the Great I AM of His people….. The train that filled the temple are My precious ones….. The ones who turn to I AM with anticipation as a child runs to his parent for their embrace. Do not run from I AM with your concerns or questions, run to I AM. I AM delights in instructing you into the knowledge so you may know the Wisdom in the days ahead.
I AM did not want the people to go without food for it had been three days of them listening to the Words of My heart…… How much more does I AM prepare for you all that you will need and more beyond the imagination of your heart… I AM has called you away with an everlasting love to keep you. Do not fear but know I AM and faith will grow greater.
When you limit I AM, you limit yourself. You sit with rags and delight they are the best garments. The moth and the years of time will rot them…….Do you not desire to be clothed with the garments of praise and righteousness and grace forever?
Is it not written My daughter is all glorious within the palace? Do you see the beauty you hold within? Is that your Treasure? Where you place your focus is your treasure. Where you place your desires is your treasure……. You are My treasure, My children. You are My glory. You are My crown……. See the value you are to I AM and then your focus will be heavenward and towards the eternity that you already dwell and walk through, even this day.
All things will pass away, but My Words will never pass away or lack its mate in its fulfillment. I AM has purposed all things under the sun. I AM knows from the beginning My purposes for man. The glory of God was man’s covering. Revealing the beauty of His God as we walked together through time. He was for a time gathered unto me. Then I AM walked with Enoch and his nakedness was covered again with My glory……. He was not but I AM his forever.
My cross washed away your sins as far as the east is to the west…… Do you question My Word in the lack of your belief towards My Work for you and the world? The time you have been given is to seal what I AM has already sealed upon your life…. Now you are to seal up the knowledge of your Great I AM and My neverending love for you.
I AM has given gifts among you, yet do you still not believe ? If a gift is given to you that you see, you say thank you…… but what of the precious gifts that are not seen? What type eyes are watching and viewing ? The view of sight can be so short or can be a priestly vision…….. For your eyes follow what your heart desires……..Nothing is hidden that will not be revealed. Nothing is covered that I AM does not know…….
Turn your gaze to I AM in your doing. Turn your heart often to I AM….. I AM here and I AM never slumbers or sleep, but My eyes are forever beholding My beloved, My garden, My vineyard. When My chosen behold I AM, you are watered and tended with great care…… Behold, My love.
To those who mock I AM and scorn I AM even today. I AM says to you, My arms are still outstretched for you this day. My blood is ever living. Be washed anew and leave the old ways. Come to I AM and live in the heights of the hills in the heavenly places where I AM has called you to dwell.
Come to I AM today! Can you hear the bells chiming your tune? I AM knows all your tunes, yet, I AM wants you! Come to I AM. I AM loves you!
SELAH!
